Appearance:
<br>- William is rather tall, standing at 179 cm/ 5 ft 8 inch, with a chance of growing at least a few more centimetres, since he has yet to reach his father's height
<br> - Having trained various sports for most of his childhood and early teenage years, he had a firm, athletic build that he has not worked on in recent years, so he is starting to lose some muscle
<br> - His wears his hair long, mostly tied in a tail. His hair is dark-black which means it clashes with his mostly pale skin. He was born with pale skin, but had gotten some tan when he started doing out door sports and, recently, simply spending time in the sun since he doesn't really train anything any more, so currently his skin tone is stuck somewhere in between those two colors
<br> - His eyes are black as well, and he has a scar in the right corner of his right eye that he had gotten in the same fight about two years ago; it is thin, but but also fairly visible-anybody who looks him in the face will notice it immediately
<br> - Has a long face, with somewhat thin nose and lips, and depending on his mood, he will either have a blank expression on or will be frowning at the world
<br> - Wears mostly dark color; once it used to be smart/nice shirts and dress pants, now it's t-shirts and jeans, though they are still of higher quality than usual, since his family is rich
<br> - Has a four part tattoo on his back, the tip of which can be seen if he doesn't place his hair right over it

Personality:
<br> - Arrogant: He comes from a rich family, so he is used to being treated, at least grudgingly, like he is better than everyone else; however, he also uses his arrogance as a defense mechanism against people
<br> - Lonely: also because he comes from a rich family that has influence he is used to both his pears and his elders being afraid of him, or at least his parents' money and what he/they could do with it; however, it goes deeper than that-he is also used to his own family being afraid of him, because he was marked as a 'destroyer' ever since he was born, so he is not just used to being alone at school, he is used to being alone at home as well; had his family not have a bunch of servants, he would have been taking care of himself all this years; ironically, or sadly, he is however somewhat anti-social and doesn’t do well with people, so even though he is lonely and would love to have more friends, he basically cannot communicate with anyone but Spirit and Warrior
<br> - Self-sufficient, and used to counting only on himself, knows how to read people and would probably survive in a jungle, head strong, stubborn, yet doesn’t know how to cook or make his own bed, due, again, to his rich upbringing, where, even though he was both hated and feared, everything was done for him
<br> - Heavily dependent on his summoned spirits; trying to part him from them can cause anything from a panic attack to more destructive nature of his power showing, depending on situation
<br> - Smart: his rich upbringing means he went to good schools, plus both of his parents are smart as well, so has extremely high IQ, could be regarded as genius, if only he tried; he refuses, however, to cooperate in class, argues with his teachers, all in all, a troublemaker; worse, a smart troublemaker with violent tendencies and some real power behind him
<br> - Angry: both at the world and at himself; full of hatred, again both external and internal and all of the negative emotions. He wouldn't know a positive emotion if it hit him in the face, even when he is with Spirit and Warrior he feels like something is amiss
<br> - Strong: under all of this William is still a strong person though and once he deals with his problems and overcomes them nothing will be able to shake him ever again
Powers:
<br> - William is a Summoner and his powers branch in four directions:
<br> - Creation: first part of his power is Creation, aka Creator, which is not a spirit, but he himself, as he is the one who Summons and from whom the all other spirits come from
<br> - Destruction: second part of his power is Destruction, and it is an extremely strong, destructive raw power that cannot be reasoned with because it has no mind or will no more than a storm or a hurricane has; it is however unlike the natural disasters mostly made of pure force which eats away anything it touches. William can’t control it, so once it is summoned it will destroy everything in its path, disappearing only if William is knocked out or, well, killed. Also, when it is summoned, William falls into a trance like state and has no control over himself either. So far, it was summoned only once and is a cause not only of William being sent to SA against his will, but also the reason behind him growing up the way he had
<br> - Attack: third part of William power is Attack, and compared to Creation and Destruction it is fairly simple: it is shaped as a human-like being that he had named Warrior. Warrior had long silver hair tied in a thin pony tail, wears black, shapeless clothes, never parts with two swords he has on his back and has most of his face covered by a mask. Only his eyes, also silver in color, are visible. Warrior is a spirit meant to attack William’s enemies in normal situations, unlike Destruction which is basically a self-destruction/panic attack button
<br> - Defense: third part of William’s power is Defense, and like Attack it is fairly simple: it is a giant, wolf-like spirit he had named Spirit, meant to defend William in fight
<br> - Most commonly spirits are sent back to the inner world of the Summoner as soon as they fulfil the task they were summoned for and thus have no conscious thought; they listen to every word of the Summoner and are basically empty dolls. In William's case, however, both his Attack and Defense spirits were summoned a long time ago and never sent back, which they have become self-aware. Self-awareness means that their powers are lessened and that they don’t have to listen to every command William gives them. It took more time for Spirit to become self-aware because he was summoned while William was still young and has basically grown up in this world from an immature pup to a full grown spirit. Warrior was summoned while William’s powers were at their peak, so he became self-aware much quicker
History:
<br> - Born into a rich family with a lot of influence, both in the word of people that have no powers, and in the community of those who have them; in the first world they are feared because of their money and among those with powers they are feared because they are a big family with a lot of members who all have some kind of power. Also, they are an old family that can follow its family tree centuries back, though their last name has changed a lot during that time, sometimes even intentionally because they had to hide during times the tables were turned and they lost their power. Now, though, they are in power again, and have been for almost half a century with no low points
<br> - However, even though he was born in that kind of family, William has been marked as different ever since he was born, simply because he was born with a birth mark of a Summoner, which his family has learned to associate with powers of destruction because last three Summoners born into the family were destructive, two of them unintentionally; the last one though, born not a sixty years before William, was pure evil and had used his powers to cause harm intentionally. With those memories in mind, his family marked him as a 'destroyer’ as well, and was afraid of him; he was raised as an outcast from his own family, his cousins were taught to fear him, his servants no better and he barely saw his parents. He was mostly alone for much of his life, even once he started attending school because even there nobody dared approach him because of his name despite the fact that he was going to a private school where everyone had bone. His name was such that even there he got special treatment from the teachers and fearful looks from the students. He wasn’t bullied, just avoided.
<br> - He tried joining various teams in hope that being on them would help him make friends, but has come to love them all for real, even though it did not help him with his original goal. It has also, however, lead to him summoning Spirit once in a fit of helplessness when the person who was supposed to pick him up from his practice didn’t show up for hours, even when night fell. Nobody knew the pup he brought home was anything but a pup since the servants taking care of him knew of his powers but had none themselves. Also, whole family was used to Summoners summoning destruction. Thus, since nobody cared much what he did, the pup stayed. He ironically named it Spirit.
<br> - As any ignored child, he eventually started to get angry once he entered his teenage years, creating trouble everywhere he went. At this point, Spirit still isn’t self-aware, so he can’t offer anything but comfort and that only when William in some way asks for it.
<br> - Unlike most ignored children, however, he doesn’t do what he does to get his parents to notice him since he knows they don’t care either way and that knowledge makes him angry, and because he is angry he destroys things and gets into trouble. He is still going to private school though and still has his parents influence behind him, though he has not seen them properly in almost a two years now, so he isn’t expelled, or even properly punished. This only makes him behave worse, so at fifteen he even starts getting into fights. Spirit has been with him for three and a half years now, and is slowly starting to become self-aware.
<br> - Around 17 he summons Warrior in a fit of rage during a fight that has gone wrong. He had stopped attending any kind of practice so he is out of shape and outnumbered by five other boys. One of them pulls something out of his pocket and cuts him by the eye, giving him his scar. This serves as a breaking point of William, who summons Warrior, ordering him to attack the other boys. Thankfully, none of them remember the incident well enough after it to notice anything strange about Warrior suddenly appearing, thinking simply that he was some new bodyguard.
<br> - Warrior is a lot harder to hide than Spirit, but at this time, William can go for weeks without seeing anyone at home; servants bring meals before he is awake and take care of everything while he is away; if anybody does see them, they think the same thing as the boys from the fight-a bodyguard or someone sent to follow William around and keep him out of trouble
<br> - After this, three things happen during the next year:
1) Spirit finally starts talking scaring the shit out of him at first, but slowly becoming his best and only friend, explaining to him everything that he knows about William’s powers and somethings about the world itself
2) because his powers are stronger now than they were when he summoned Spirit, Warrior is getting his ‘soul’ much quicker, becoming self-aware by the end of the year
3) William’s paternal grandmother comes to visit him and his parents for the first time since he was born, and since she knows how to recognize a spirit that is supposed to be a spirit but is not a spirit because it has been summoned for too long, she has a fit, because That Is Not How Things Are Done; it doesn’t matter to her that he was not taught or told anything by anyone but Spirit or that he was treated as some kind of time bomb because of the family history with Summoners. None of that matters to her. The only thing that matters is that Spirits Cannot Be Self-Aware, so she tries to get William to de-summon them, and when that doesn’t work, tries to force them away herself, but that of course goes horribly wrong as it triggers panic attack which in turn triggers the summoning of Destruction for the first and only time. Half of the family house is destroyed and some of the family members extremely injured, all of which would have been much worse had Warrior and Spirit not recognized what was going on and knocked William out.
<br> - He faces some kind of family trial which in the past would have sentenced him to death for what he had done, however, in modern times it is far more dangerous to cause someone to disappear, if only because the press would tore the story about an heir of such a powerful family dying or disappearing apart. However, as luck would have it, he has finally made too much trouble at school and gets expelled, and one of the servants of his family has a child in SA so they suggest it as a place for William, and off he is shipped to a place he doesn’t know, full of hate and anger, alone but for his spirits, and overwhelmed but one part guilt, two parts confusion
Additional information
<br> - Since William’s family is so well known it would not be strange if there were rumors flying around SA about him suddenly being transferred there
<br> - The four part tattoo William has on his back was done on the Island, almost as soon as he got off his plane. The first, lower part was done over the birth mark which marks him as a Summoner, while other three are meant to represent the other three parts of his power. The symbols he used to represent Attack, Defense and Destruction make sense only to him, and though the tattoo looks beautiful it will not make sense to anybody but him unless explained. Tattoo has been done at his 18th birthday, which is conveniently just two days ago, so for now, the tattoo is still covered, raw and somewhat painful
<br> - Having not spent much time about people his own age, or any people, really, except for school, while he still attended, and having never really thought about it, William hasn’t really figured out his sexuality that, which is why it is marked with a question mark
